This page uses abbreviations for the mouse buttons: This article covers the main features of Photoshop and briefly explains how they can be used. This information is available in the Main Photoshop article. 8.2 Copying and pasting part of the pictureīefore you start reading this page, make sure you have a basic understanding of what Photoshop is and what the main differences are between Pixels and Vectors.This is because Photoshop continuously samples the colour that is directly under the crosshair in the center of the cursor. But make sure that the small crosshair of the brush stays inside the area to be coloured. It doesn’t matter if you paint over the edge of the balloon because Photoshop recognises the edge of the object and colours just the object. Now you can paint over the balloon with the green colour selected previously using the Brush tool. Since there is relatively little contrast between the background and the balloon, we set the Tolerance to 20 percent. In the options bar, you can make various settings to define how the Color Replacement tool will deal with the original colour. Then define a new foreground colour, a light green for example. To open it, click and hold the Brush tool in the toolbar and choose the Color Replacement tool from the dropdown menu. The Color Replacement tool, however, is up to the task. Because the background is of a similar blue as the balloon, the Hue/Saturation Adjustment will not yield the desired outcome in this case. We want to replace the colour of one of the blue balloons in the example. Example 2 – Colouring balloons using the Color Replacement tool
To remedy this, use the bottommost slider on the Hue/Saturation panel to extend the range of colours.Ĭlick the slider and drag it slightly to the right to extend the range of colours.Īvoid dragging the slider too far as otherwise the colour of the rest of the picture will start to change as well from a certain point on. It can happen that not all colours are replaced correctly despite selecting the cyan hue. In the example, we choose a red to match the autumn mood of the picture. Then move the Hue slider to replace the colour based on your setting. The car is a vibrant cyan, so you can choose this as the colour channel to change. These are ideal preconditions for replacing the colour using the hue and saturation adjustment: Go to the Adjustments panel and choose Hue/Saturation. The focus is on the car which stands out clearly against the autumn background. In the first example, we want to replace the colour of the car. Example 1 – Changing the colour of the car Does the area whose colour you wish to replace contrast starkly with the background or is it similar to the background colour? In both cases, Photoshop provides the matching tools to replace certain colours without cutting out the subject. If you want to avoid cutting out the image area first, you have to decide which method is best suited for a given subject. Like many other Photoshop functions, there are different ways to replace colours. Replacing colours in Photoshop without cutting out In our tutorial, we will demonstrate three methods of replacing colour that don’t require cutting out an image area. Often, this requires cutting out a certain image area first. A popular Photoshop function is to adjust or replace colours as needed with a few clicks.
